Thank you very much ! I have just some other questions :

The OU need to be created only in sam.ldb ? and do you know if an OU
created like this will be compatible with  RSAT ? There are no more
information stored in the LDB database when the OU is created from
RSAT ?

Thank you again for your help. It will be possible for me now to
complete my scipts to manage my AD completely automatically !

Thanks !

Baptiste.
